I just can’t say enough about the great time TJ, my grandson, and I had at DVSF3

I know TJ will carry this experience with him long after we are all gone…

I think one of my riders on Sunday summed it all up for me. A lady, in fact, one of the track volunteers, who has a child afflicted with CF. While waiting in line to get on the slalom course, she told me of her child and how much it meant to the CF families to have all the Cobra owners bring out and share their cars and time to help raise research dollars for this terrible disease. Damn!! I thought she was going to have me in tears! I kept telling her that WE, the owners, were the thankful ones. The opportunity to stretch the legs of our cars and the great hospitality, but I don’t think she was listings LOL. She just kept thanking.

We then hit the track. I think she held her breath all the way to the end, eyes as big as silver dollars. When we turned off on the taxi-way, she let out with the biggest laughter you can imagine. For one very short moment, she was taken away for what must be a very heavy weight of CF and had nothing but exhilaration! Back at the pick-up point I helped her out of the car. No “thanks”, no hand shake, she grabbed be in a huge bear hug. And then the thanks. She even told me she would be praying that I won the Kirkham LOL….

Now, just that alone would be enough, but the whole DVSF3 experience was a gas!!

THANKS, THANKS, THANKS to everyone involved in making this possible!!!
